Silent tomb
Now i stand
Above the crater
A mouth to the abyss,
My doom is clear
I must find the bottom
Beneath the cold ground,
And dig until void
Forbidden from his abode
I bleed
I am this desert creature.
I am this fruit.
I am this grain of sand.
I am this world,
My being is now part of a whole
I feel the warm sand beneath my belly,
And the overwhelming hunger as I breathe my last
I feel the sugars and acids filling my flesh
And the bite of the cold as the black star disappears behind the dunes
I am the last fragment of a creature
Who once walked these expanses still full of life, eons ago.
This world is dying
And will one day be reborn from its ashes
